Encore finally delivers
After six months of waiting and busting balls, Encore Books has finally acquired my trade paper backs. On Thursday I plunked down 70 dollars of my hard earned money to pick up the Invisibles: Apocalypstick and Storwatch: Team Achilles. For his first forray in the world of comics, Micah Wright does pretty good for himself with interesting characters and a remarked improvement as the story goes on. SW:TA is a good book, but it's not great.

The Invisibles, on the other hand is *really* awesome. There has only been two forms of media that has managed to change my perception after injestion. The first would have to be Fight Club. I remember walking out of the screening of that film and I remember how much different the world "looked". It was like the film had turned off the switch in my brain that filters out advertisements and commercialism. Walking to my truck, all I could see was the excessive consumeristic society that Tyler Durden had fought against. I felt energized, like nothing else. The second trade paperback of the Invisibles was just like that. Filled to the gills with Mad and Beautiful Ideas, Apocalystick feels like nothing I've ever read before. Sexy, scary and cool and ten times more comprehensible than the Filth. It's something worth reading. I cannot wait to get the whole series and read it in one go.
